• Delivered six new water meters.

o All samples met MDH standards.
o Submitted MDH Fluoride Report
• Submitted MPCA Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) for the Diesel Generation Plant.
• The WTP #7 Expansion has some paint touch-ups, a few programming issues, and some
landscaping details to tie up before the job will be complete. The project will not reach
final completion until the fall when the final round of paint touch-ups can be completed.
• Continuing to work with Kjolhaug Environmental and Kodet Architectural to get the
storm water pond at the field services building removed from the wetland. If we're
successful at getting this removed, we'll save money when it comes time to mitigate for
the wetland that is on the property when we start working on the expansion.
• We concluded our first round of leak detection for the year. There were eleven fire
hydrants that were leaking, one service, and one water main. We have started the second
round of leak detection which will encompass the area of our system east of Highway
169; once this is complete,the entire city will have gone through leak detection process.
Starting next year,the entire city will be surveyed for leaks on an annual basis. The water
operators have repaired the hydrants that were identified. We are in the process of
working with the customer to get their service repaired, and are planning on repairing our
water main leak in the coming months.
